OpenAI has officially established a legal entity in South Korea, with plans to open an office in Seoul. This strategic move aims to further deepen cooperation with local enterprises and policymakers. South Korea boasts the world's second-largest market for ChatGPT paid users, witnessing a remarkable 450% surge in user activity over the past year. To propel the construction and widespread adoption of AI infrastructure, OpenAI has forged cooperation agreements with leading companies such as Kakao and SK Telecom. Additionally, it has signed an agreement with the Korea Development Bank to bolster the development of the AI ecosystem. In the near future, the Seoul office will commence operations and commence hiring to provide support for local users, clients, and partners.
